One of the 80’s most popular child actors, Corey Feldman recently celebrated his 50th Birthday. With that celebration came the revelation that Feldman may be done with acting. During an interview with MovieWeb, Feldman stated,
“As far as the film front, yes, I’ve got a couple cameos. There’s a couple cameos on the way out, but they’re very brief, and that’s it. I have no films slated. I have not decided if I even want to make another film. I have literally taken this as a giant reset. And that’s what this is all about. The 50 year mark for me is saying half of my life is now over, how do I want to spend the second half of it? And that’s going to unfold as the days present themselves, and I can’t tell you what the future holds.”
Feldman mentioned his constant frustration of consistently being overlooked by the industry and how he feels slighted, adding,
“I can’t tell you that I’ll ever star in another movie. I haven’t decided if I want to yet or not, because I feel like I’ve dedicated a lot of my life and a lot of my career to filmmaking, and I feel that I’ve been a bit overlooked. I think if you watch the movie The Birthday, you would understand why I feel this way. I don’t know that I want to dedicate any more of my life to something where I’m not being appreciated… I know that there’s appreciation for my past acting work, I’m not saying that there’s not, I’m just don’t really see myself begging for work.”
MovieWeb made it a point to say it’s about time that someone like Quentin Tarantino put him in one of his movies, Feldman doesn’t think that is going to happen stating,
“You should probably write him and tell him that. You know what, I’ve run into Quentin many times, we’ve always been friendly with each other, and he’s promised he wanted to work with me over and over and over. At this point, I’ve never seen an offer. So, like I said, a lot of people have overlooked my work through the years. I feel pretty scorned about that, and I don’t know that I really want to go back in and ask anybody to help. The only person that ever really wanted to help was Dick Donner, and now sadly he’s gone, and without Dick being there to encourage me back into the scene, I don’t know, it would take a lot. To be very honest with you, it would take something very special to motivate me to want to get back in front of the camera and act.”
